What?
Always register the
core/freeform(Classic) block. Its inserter availability is now controlled bysupports.inserterinstead of conditionally skipping registration.Why?
Trying a different approach for the experiment - instead of skipping registration, we always register the block but hide it from the inserter. This preserves support for existing posts that already contain a Classic block, while preventing new ones from being added.
The exact condition for hiding the block in the inserter will be tweaked in follow-up PRs.
How?
The Classic block is now always included in the list of registered core blocks. When the experiment is enabled, its visibility in the inserter is controlled via
supports.inserterbased on thewindow.wp.needsClassicBlockflag.Testing Instructions
